She’s the original Fly Girl of In Living Color — Game Boy Color, that is. Shantae, our favorite purple-haired, gold-bangled half-genie hero first made her debut in 2002. Despite the fact that the Game Boy Advanced was released in 2001, Shantae’s debut adventured conjured a cult following. Whipping forward eight years, Shantae cast a spell on DSi with Risky’s Revenge, which ...[Read More]

Also at today’s Nintendo Direct, more information on Ultimate NES Remix was given. The game will feature content from 16 of the top NES games, as well as something called “Famicom Remix Mode” which features content from the Japanese version of NES Remix with slightly different sound effects and backgrounds (I think I may have heard a Zelda villain farting in the video). There is ...[Read More]

So Abraham Lincoln and Tom Sawyer walk into a video game… That may sound like a silly joke, but it is actually the premise of Code Name: S.T.E.A.M., a turn-based strategy RPG from Intelligent Systems, a game developer best known for their work on the Fire Emblem series. The core gameplay mechanics don’t sound too dissimilar from other games in this genre but the quirky comic book art s...[Read More]

Today during their Nintendo Direct presentation, Nintendo FINALLY announced they are remaking The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask for the 3DS. Fans far and wide have been clamoring for this remake ever since The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time was rendered in 3D for the handheld system a little over three years ago. This is one of my personal favorite Zelda titles, and I think it’s...[Read More]

A couple weeks ago, Nintendo and The Pokémon Company teamed up to release a special demo of their upcoming set of games, Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire. Nothing like this has ever been done in the Pokémon series before, so like all new things that happen in the gaming world, the Internet is trying desperately to decide if they love the idea or hate it. It’s easy to see why thi...[Read More]

As someone who enjoys the games that have been published by Circle Entertainment you can’t help but keep a keen eye on what is coming. Games I happen to own by the awesome team include Witch and Hero, Bookstore Dream, Publisher Dream and Sweet Memories Black Jack. If I had to put a game at the top of my list from the team it would be Publisher Dream since it reminds me ever so much of a Game...[Read More]

If you’re like me you always want to know what titles are coming your way when it comes to games. Nintendo has released a detailed list of what titles are releasing and coming up to the Nintendo Wii U and 3DS Systems for the next week. Now be ready for the really long list of games, demos, sales and more coming this week directly from the press release. (Personally, I can’t wait to pla...[Read More]

Most people who have ever brought a child into the world would tell you that it is a life changing, magical experience. A lot of people find it to be so transformative of an experience that the very essence of who they are, all the way down to their speech patterns, can change. Phrases that sound like “whats a mattew wid daddy’s widdle man” become just as commonplace as a bottle of pacifier ...[Read More]

Inazuma Eleven is one of those games that on paper sounds absolutely ridiculous, unless of course you’re Japanese. While this type of game is pretty uncommon in the states, the Sports RPG genre is pretty popular in Japan. After playing Inazuma Eleven, I can certainly see why. Inazuma Eleven is a game developed by Level-5. Last time I checked Level-5 was making great games like Ni No Kuni, Rogue G...[Read More]

I’ve publicly declared that regardless of how much I may adore Pokémon games, I do not care for the spin-offs. It’s actually quite embarrassing just how public I have gotten with these declarations. I proclaimed my undying love for only the core of the Pokémon franchise as I walked up and down the aisle of a city bus. I have hijacked the loudspeaker at my local supermarket just to expl...[Read More]

One thing I’ve never really been shy talking about is how old I am. Being 32 years young means I am older than the average gamer, but also too young to remember when home video game systems were really getting off their feet. The first console my family owned was a Nintendo Entertainment System, but that doesn’t mean the charms of its predecessor’s games are lost on me. I do have...[Read More]

I was in a pet store picking up some pet food for my dog when I overheard the following conversation. A cute girl peaks over the counter and politely asks the sales representative. “I’m interested in buying a rabbit.” “Oh sure we’ve got lots of rabbits” gushed the motherly sales representative. “Do you have any specific color in mind? We’ve got some adorable white Bunnies down this isle.” The lady exclaimed.

“Oh” said the cute girl with a wave of her hand, “I really don’t think my boa constrictor would care about what color it is!”
